BACKGROUND

1. Field

The disclosed technology relates to a display, and more particularly, toan organic light emitting display capable of preventing a voltage dropin power source wiring lines and of preventing the coupling of datalines to improve yield.

2. Description of the Related Technology

With the development of information technology, while demand for organiclight emitting displays increases, research on displays such as liquidcrystal displays (LCD), plasma display panels (PDP). field emissiondisplays (FED), electrophoretic displays (EPD), organicelectroluminescence emitting displays (OLED) continues.

In an organic light emitting display, light is generated as a result ofrecombination of electrons supplied by a cathode and holes supplied byan anode.

An organic light emitting display may realize low voltage driving, havehigh response speed, high brightness, is thin, and may display all ofthe colors in a visible region to satisfy various needs of users.

An organic light emitting display includes gate wiring lines and datawiring lines that perpendicularly intersect each other and a pluralityof sub-pixels connected to power source wiring lines separated from thedata wiring lines by a uniform distance. The power source wiring linefunctions as a storage capacitor for storing a signal in the data wiringline and a path through which current flows through a driving transistorin the sub-pixels.

An IR drop in the power source wiring line is less near a power supplysource. Conversely, the IR drop in the power source wiring line remotefrom the power supply source is greater.

In the conventional organic light emitting display, due to the IR dropof the power source wiring line varying in accordance with the positionof each sub-pixel, the amount of current in each sub-pixel varies withthe position of each sub-pixel so that emission brightness isnon-uniform. Such a problem is severe for large panels.

In order to prevent the IR drop of the power source wiring line, amethod of increasing the width of the power source wiring line in thelayout structure of an array unit is used. However, since thepossibility of generating a short among various wiring lines, such asthe power source wiring line, the gate wiring line, the data wiringline, or an initializing power source wiring line increases as the widthof the power source wiring line increases. Accordingly, there arelimitations on increasing the width of the power source wiring line.

Referring to FIG. 1, an organic light emitting display 100 according toan embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality ofsub-pixels P formed at the perpendicular intersections of a plurality ofdata lines DL and a plurality of gate lines GL, a data driver 122 fortransmitting data signals to the plurality of data lines DL, and a gatedriver 124 for transmitting gate signals to a plurality of gate linesGL.

In addition, the organic light emitting display includes a plurality ofdriving power source wiring lines ELVDD for transmitting drivingvoltages to the plurality of sub-pixels P, a power supply source 126 forsupplying driving voltages to the plurality of driving power sourcewiring lines ELVDD, and a plurality of coupling blocking wiring lines130.

The two data lines DL make a pair and are arranged to run parallel witheach other between adjacent sub-pixels P to transmit data signals to theadjacent sub-pixels P. The data lines DL are arranged to run parallelwith the driving power source wiring lines ELVDD with the sub-pixels Pinterposed between wiring lines ELVDD and the data lines DL. A couplingblocking wiring line 130 is provided between the two adjacent data linesDL.

The coupling blocking wiring line 130 may be, for example, acompensation signal wiring line or an initializing power source wiringline. The coupling blocking wiring line 130 may be formed, for example,of the same opaque conductive material on the same layer as the datalines DL.

The coupling blocking wiring line 130 is provided between the twoadjacent data lines DL to prevent coupling generated between the twoadjacent data lines DL. As a result, the data signals transmittedthrough the data lines DL are supplied so that the organic lightemitting display may be stably driven.

Since the two data lines DL are between the adjacent sub-pixels P andthe coupling blocking wiring line 130 is provided between the data linesDL, the width of the driving power source wiring line ELVDD may bemaximized.

In addition, since the width of the driving power source wiring lineELVDD may be maximized, the voltage drop is reduced so that the picturequality of the organic light emitting display is substantially uniformand so that the organic light emitting display may be stably driven.

When an initializing power source wiring line is the coupling blockingwiring line 130, since one initializing wiring line is provided per twosub-pixels P so that the number of lines may be minimized, potentialshorts caused by foreign substances generating during patterning may bereduced so that yield may be improved.

The data driver 122 is coupled to the plurality of data lines DL andgenerates data signals to transmit the data signals input in a row tothe sub-pixels P through the data lines DL. A gate driver 124 is coupledto a plurality of gate lines GL and generates gate signals tosequentially transmit the generated gate signals to the sub-pixels Pthrough the gate lines GL.

The power source supply unit 126 drives voltages to the sub-pixels Pthrough the plurality of driving power, source wiring lines ELVDD. Onedriving power source wiring line ELVDD transmits a driving voltage totwo adjacent sub-pixels P shared and is provided to run parallel with adata line DL with a sub-pixel P interposed. The driving power sourcewiring may have a mesh structure, in which the driving power sourcewiring line ELVDD provided to run parallel with the gate line GL isadditionally provided.

Hereinafter, the organic light emitting display is described based onone sub-pixel and another sub-pixel adjacent to the one sub-pixel.However, the present invention may be applied to the other sub-pixelsformed in the organic light emitting display.

Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the organic light emitting displayaccording to some embodiments includes a plurality of sub-pixels Pformed near the perpendicular intersections of a plurality of gate linesGL and a plurality of data lines DL, a plurality of driving power sourcewiring lines ELVDD for supplying power source to the plurality ofsub-pixels P, and compensation signal wiring lines GC for compensatingfor the characteristics of the plurality of sub-pixels P.

The sub-pixels P are near intersections of the plurality of gate linesGL and the plurality of data lines DL. The sub-pixel P includes anorganic light emitting diode (OLED) for displaying an image by drivingcurrent, a driving transistor Trd electrically coupled to the OLED tosupply driving current, a switching transistor Trs, a compensationtransistor Tgc, and capacitors C1 and C2.

The OLED includes an anode electrically coupled to the drivingtransistor Trd and a cathode electrically coupled to a ground powersource wiring line ELVSS. The OLED generates one of red (R), green (G),and blue (B) light components to correspond to the driving currentsupplied by the driving transistor Trd.

The driving transistor Trd is a switching element for transmittingdriving current corresponding to the data signal supplied from the dataline DL to the OLED.

Therefore, the driving transistor Trd includes a first electrode (asource or a drain) electrically coupled to the driving power sourcewiring line ELVDD, a second electrode (a drain or a source) electricallycoupled to the anode of the OLED, and a gate electrode that operates inaccordance with the data signal supplied from the data line DL.

The first electrode is one of a drain electrode and a source electrodeand the second electrode is the other electrode from the firstelectrode. For example, when the first electrode is the sourceelectrode, the second electrode is the drain electrode.

The switching transistor Trs is a switching element turned on when agate signal is supplied to the gate line GL to supply the data signalsupplied to the data line DL to the capacitors C1 and C2.

Therefore, the switching transistor Trs includes a first electrodecoupled to the data line DL, a second electrode coupled to the gateelectrode of the driving transistor Trd, and a gate electrode coupled tothe gate line GL. The second electrode of the switching transistor Trsis electrically coupled to a node between the capacitors C1 and C2 totransmit the data signal supplied to the data line DL to the drivingtransistor Trd.

The compensation transistor Tgc is a switching element turned on whenthe compensation signal of the compensation signal wiring line GC issupplied to transmit the driving current corresponding to the datasignal to the OLED and to compensate for the characteristic of thedriving transistor Trd.

Therefore, the compensation transistor Tgc includes a first electrodecoupled to the driving current corresponding to the data signal or thevoltage charged in the capacitor C1, a second electrode electricallycoupled to the anode of the OLED, and a gate electrode electricallycoupled to the compensation signal wiring line GC.

The capacitors C2 and C1 are electrically coupled between the powersource wiring line ELVDD and the second electrode of the switchingtransistor Trs and the second electrode of the switching transistor Trsand the gate electrode of the driving transistor Trd. The capacitors C2and C1 maintain the data voltage applied to the gate electrode of thedriving transistor Trd for a uniform period so that the voltage requiredfor the emission of the OLED is maintained.

The driving power source wiring line ELVDD and the ground power sourcewiring line ELVSS supply a power source voltage and a reference voltagefor driving the sub-pixel P. The voltage supplied by the ground powersource wiring line ELVSS has a lower voltage level than the voltagelevel supplied by the driving power source wiring line ELVDD. That is,the ground power source wiring line ELVSS may, for example, have onevoltage level selected between a ground voltage and a negative voltage.

The driving power source wiring line ELVDD may have a mesh structureformed of the driving power source wiring lines ELVDD provided in acolumn (vertical) direction between adjacent sub-pixels P and drivingpower source wiring lines ELVDD provided in a row (horizontal) directionto run parallel with the gate line GL.

The column directional driving power source wiring line ELVDD may beconnected to adjacent sub-pixels P. The column directional driving powersource wiring lines ELVDD run parallel with the data lines DL with thesub-pixels P interposed between. In addition, the row directionaldriving power source wiring lines ELVDD may be provided to run parallelwith the compensation signal wiring lines GC.

The compensation signal wiring line GC supplies the compensation signalcorresponding to the data signal to the OLED to compensate thecharacteristic of the sub-pixel P. The compensation signal wiring lineGC may be formed on the same layer as the column directional drivingpower source wiring line ELVDD of the same material or may be formed onthe same layer as the data line DL of the same material.

The compensation signal wiring line GC may have a mesh structure formedof the compensation signal wiring line GC provided in a column(vertical) direction to run parallel with a data line DL betweenadjacent data lines DL and the compensation signal wiring line GCprovided in a row (horizontal) direction to run parallel with the gateline GL. The row directional compensation signal wiring line GC suppliesa compensation signal to the column directional compensation signalwiring line GC.

The column directional compensation signal wiring line GC is providedbetween adjacent data lines arranged between adjacent sub-pixels P, thatis, a pair of data lines DL. Since the compensation signal wiring lineGC is provided in a column (vertical) direction to run parallel with adata line DL between adjacent data lines DL, a coupling phenomenonbetween adjacent data lines DL is prevented.

In addition, in some embodiments, the compensation signal wiring line GCis provided between the adjacent data lines DL arranged to run parallelwith the driving power source wiring line ELVDD with the sub-pixel Pinterposed so that the width of the column direction driving powersource wiring line ELVDD may be maximized.

As described above, in the organic light emitting display, since thewidth of the driving power source wiring line may be maximized, it ispossible to prevent the IR drop quality degradation. Since the adjacentdata wiring lines are isolated from each other to prevent the couplingof the data lines, the picture quality of the organic light emittingdisplay may be uniform and the organic light emitting display may bestably driven.

On the other hand, the two data lines DL make a pair and are arranged torun parallel with each other between the two adjacent sub-pixels P totransmit data signals to the sub-pixels P. Each data line DL is providedto run parallel with the driving power source wiring line ELVDD with thesub-pixel P interposed therebetween. As described above, the columndirection compensation signal wiring line GC may be provided between thetwo adjacent data lines DL.

The sub-pixels P may be symmetrical with each other using the columndirectional driving power source wiring line ELVDD as an axis.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, an organic light emitting displayaccording to some embodiments includes a plurality of sub-pixels Pformed near the intersections of the plurality of gate lines GLn−1 andGL and the plurality of data lines DL and a plurality of power sourcewiring lines ELVDD, ELVSS, and Vint for supplying power source to theplurality of sub-pixels P.

The sub-pixels P are each near intersections of the plurality of gatelines GLn−1 and GL and the plurality of data lines DL. The sub-pixel Pincludes an organic light emitting diode (OLED) for displaying an imageby driving current, a first switching element T1 electrically coupled tothe OLED to supply driving current, a capacitor C1, second to sixthswitching elements T2 to T6, and an emission control wiring line En.

The OLED includes an anode electrically coupled to a first switchingelement T1 and a cathode electrically coupled to the ground power sourcewiring line ELVSS. The OLED generates one of red (R), green (G), andblue (B) light components to correspond to the driving current suppliedthrough the first switching element T1.

The first switching element T1 is a driving switching element fortransmitting the driving current corresponding to the data signalsupplied from the data line DL to the OLED.

The first switching element T1 includes a first electrode (a source or adrain) electrically coupled to the first power source wiring line ELVDDvia the fifth switching element T5, a second electrode (the drain or thesource) electrically coupled to the anode electrode of the OLED via thesixth switching element T6, and a gate electrode that operates inaccordance with the data signal supplied from the data line DL.

Here, the first electrode is one of the drain electrode and the sourceelectrode and the second electrode is the other electrode from the firstelectrode. For example, when the first electrode is the sourceelectrode, the second electrode is the drain electrode.

The capacitor C1 stores the voltage corresponding to the data signalbetween the first electrode (the source or the drain) of the firstswitching element T1 and the gate electrode of the first electrode (thesource or the drain) to maintain the voltage required for the emissionof the OLED.

The capacitor C1 includesa first electrode electrically coupled to the control electrode (or thegate electrode) of the first switching element T1 and a second electrodeelectrically so coupled to the first power source wiring line ELVDD andthe first electrode (the source or the drain) of the first switchingelement T1.

The second switching element t2 is a switching element turned on when agate signal is supplied to the gate line GL to supply the data signalsupplied to the data line DL to the capacitor c1 via the first electrodeof the first switching element T1.

Therefore, the second switching element T2 includes a first electrodecoupled to the data line DL, a second electrode coupled to the firstelectrode of the first switching element T1, and a gate electrodecoupled to the gate line GL.

The third switching element T3 is a switching element turned on when thegate signal is supplied to the gate line GL to couple the firstswitching element T1 in the form of a diode.

Therefore, the third switching element t3 includes a gate electrodeelectrically coupled to the gate line GL, a first electrode electricallycoupled to the second electrode of the first switching element t1, and asecond electrode electrically coupled to the gate electrode of the firstswitching element t1. The second electrode of the third switchingelement T3 may be electrically coupled to the first electrode of thecapacitor c1.

The fourth switching element T4 is an initializing switching elementturned on when a previous gate signal is supplied to initialize thevoltage stored in the capacitor C1. The voltage value of theinitializing power source wiring line Vint is lower voltage than thevoltage value of the data signal, for example, a negative voltage value.

The fourth switching element T4 includes a gate electrode electricallycoupled to a previous gate line GLn−1, a first electrode electricallycoupled to the first electrode of the capacitor C1, and a secondelectrode electrically coupled to the initializing power source wiringline Vint. The first electrode of the fourth switching element T4 may beelectrically coupled to the gate electrode of the first switchingelement T1 or the second electrode of the third switching element T3.

An initializing operation is performed by initializing a voltage storedin the capacitor C1, that is, the voltage of the first switching elementT1 since the fourth switching element T4 is turned on by a previous gatesignal and the other switching elements are turned off by a current gatesignal and a current emission control signal in an initializing periodwhere the previous gate signal is in a low level and the current gatesignal and the current emission control signal are in a high level.

The fifth switching element T5 is a switching element for transmittingthe driving power source voltage of the driving power source wiring lineELVDD to the first electrode of the first switching element T1 inaccordance with the emission control signal supplied by the emissioncontrol wiring line En. The fifth switching element T5 is turned on whenan emission control signal is not supplied (that is, a low voltage issupplied) to electrically couple the driving power source wiring lineELVDD to the first switching element T1.

Therefore, the fifth switching element t5 includes a first electrodeelectrically coupled to the driving power source wiring line ELVDD, asecond electrode electrically coupled to the first electrode of thefirst switching element T1, and a gate electrode electrically coupled tothe emission control wiring line En.

The sixth switching element T6 is a switching element for controllingthe driving current that flows from the first switching element T1 tothe OLED in accordance with the emission control signal supplied fromthe emission control wiring line En to determine the emission time ofthe OLED. The sixth switching element T6 is turned on when the emissioncontrol signal is not supplied (that is, the low voltage is supplied) toelectrically couple the first switching element T1 to the OLED.

The sixth switching element T6 includes a first electrode electricallycoupled to the second electrode of the first switching element T1, asecond electrode electrically coupled to the anode of the OLED, and agate electrode electrically coupled to the emission control wiring lineEn. The sixth switching element T6 may be electrically coupled to thefirst electrode of the third switching element T3.

The driving power source wiring line ELVDD and the ground power sourcewiring line ELVSS supply a power source voltage and a reference voltagefor driving the sub-pixel P. The voltage supplied by the ground powersource wiring line ELVSS has a lower voltage level than the voltagelevel supplied by the driving power source wiring line ELVDD. That is,the ground power source wiring line ELVSS may, for example, have onevoltage level selected from the ground voltage and the negative voltage.

The driving power source wiring line ELVDD may have a mesh structureformed of the driving power source provided in a column (vertical)direction between adjacent sub-pixels P and the driving power sourcewiring lines ELVDD provided in a row (horizontal) direction to runparallel with the gate line GL.

The column direction driving power source wiring line ELVDD supplies adriving power source voltage to adjacent sub-pixels P shared. The columndirection driving power source wiring line ELVDD is provided to runparallel with the data line DL with the sub-pixel P interposed. Inaddition, the row direction driving power source wiring lines ELVDD maybe provided to run parallel with the initializing power source wiringlines Vint with the sub-pixels P interposed between.

The initializing power source wiring line Vint supplies an initializingvoltage for initializing the sub-pixel P. The initializing power sourcewiring line Vint has a lower voltage level than the data signal havingthe lowermost voltage level among the data signals supplied to thecapacitor C1.

The initializing power source wiring line Vint is electrically coupledto the second electrode of the fourth switching element T4. Theinitializing power source wiring line Vint is electrically coupled tothe second electrodes of the fourth switching elements T4 that are theinitializing switching elements of the adjacent sub-pixels P so that thetwo sub-pixels P share the initializing power source.

The initializing power source wiring line Vint is provided to share theadjacent two sub-pixels P. The two sub-pixels P connected to the sameinitializing power source wiring line Vint are not the same as the twosub-pixels P connected to the same the driving power source wiring lineELVDD. The initializing power source wiring line Vint is provided in acolumn (vertical) direction to run parallel with a data line DL betweenadjacent data lines DL arranged between adjacent sub-pixels P, that is,a pair of data lines DL. Since the initializing power source wiring lineVint is provided in a column (vertical) direction to run parallel with adata line DL between adjacent data lines DL, the adjacent data lines DLare isolated from each other so that a coupling between the adjacentdata lines DL is substantially prevented.

In addition, one initializing power source wiring line Vint is providedfor two sub-pixels so that the initializing power source wiring lineVint is provided between the adjacent data lines DL arranged to runparallel with the driving power source wiring line ELVDD with thesub-pixel P interposed. Therefore, the width of the column directiondriving power source wiring line ELVDD may be maximized.

As described above, in the organic light emitting display according tosome embodiments, the generation of IR drop is substantially preventedsince the width of the driving power source wiring line may be maximizedand the picture quality of the organic light emitting display may beuniform and the organic light emitting display may be stably drivensince the adjacent data wiring lines are isolated from each other tosubstantially prevent the coupling of the data lines.

The initializing power source wiring line Vint may be formed on the samelayer as the column direction driving power source wiring line ELVDD ofthe same material or may be formed on the same layer as the data line DLof the same material.

Since the number of patternings (processing steps) may be reduced as thenumber of initializing power source wiring lines Vint is reduced, theprocessing is simplified and shorts between the wiring lines, which iscaused by foreign substances generated during patterning, may be reducedso that yield may be improved.

The two adjacent data lines DL form a pair and are arranged to runparallel with each other between the two adjacent sub-pixels P totransmit the data signals to the adjacent sub-pixels P. The data line DLis provided to run parallel with the driving power source wiring lineELVDD with the sub-pixel P interposed. As described above, theinitializing power source wiring line Vint is provided between the twoadjacent data lines DL as described above.

The sub-pixels P may be symmetrical with each other using the columndirection driving power source wiring line ELVDD as an axis.
